🚨 New preprint "The changing landscape of text mining - a review of approaches for ecology and evolution" https://t.co/UwcQlN66ym

Methods for text mining are rapidly changing. Here we review available approaches, and map them onto three broad paradigms

My group is hiring postdocs/research scientists to work on fun inference problems with amazing data sets. Specifically, we're trying to understand how flu vaccine responses and effectiveness depend on past infections and vaccinations, and why there's so much variability... 1/

Would you like to work on (arguably) the best ever pathogen genomics dataset? We’re recruiting postdocs to work on:

SARS-CoV-2 evolutionary genomics, including within-host evolution and transmission

Genomic Surveillance of pathogens

Deadline 17th November, noon, UK time.
